Fethiye is a
village in Kahramankazan District, Ankara province, Turkey. The village was
established on the slopes of the eastern slopes of the Ayas mountains towards
the Akıncı plain and has been the subject of settlement since ancient times; it
is known to have been present in the 1500s and before. With the establishment
of TAI facilities in 1984 and the registration of residents in the Akinci air
base social facilities to the village population, the population has increased
dramatically with the advent of the Apostate plain, which is located next to
the village with a population of around 500 people. With the increasing
population, the raider quarter, which was re-established around the village,
caused the village to undergo change and transformation. The vast majority of
the village people have moved on to the new neighbourhood, where reinforced
concrete new housing is available, leaving – or demolishing – their existing
housing. Some of the people have demolished their old houses and built new
reinforced concrete houses within the village where comfort conditions can be
improved. The dwellings, which constitute elaborate and original examples of
Central Anatolian rural architecture, were left to crumble and the majority of
them were destroyed by atmospheric effects during this process.

 

The work
carried out within the scope of this paper covers the determination of the
original village settlement characteristics, the establishment of the
structures and typologies of the structure elements and the analysis of the
traditional construction technique. In the context of structural system
analysis, the properties of mudbrick and wood, which are the building materials
of the houses, were evaluated and the sections, junction details and qualities
of the buildings were determined and presented.

 

Since the
majority of them were abandoned, no work has been done to date on Fethiye
Village Residences, which are in the process of rapid deterioration and
destruction.  The study of Central
Anatolian rural architecture is also very limited. With this work, it aims to
document these original examples before their destruction and to create
resources for future work.
